Been craving the Halo 3 Recon armor all these months but have been unsuccessful getting someone at Bungie to offer it to you?  Despite all those begging emails you’ve been sending hit “send” no furthur!  Bungie has announced the coveted Recon armor can be earned by completing the 4 Vidmaster Challenges now included with the last update in Halo 3.  After finishing those you can complete the last 3 Vidmaster Challenges that come with Halo 3 ODST to unlock the most prized armor in the game.  What exactly are the Vidmaster Challenges you can start working on now?

Halo 3

-Vidmaster Challenge: Lightswitch (0 points) – Get to the rank of Lieutenant in any playlist in the new EXP progression system.

-Vidmaster Challenge: 7 on 7 (0 points) – Enter into any ranked or social playlist with 7 EXP on the 7th of the month.

-Vidmaster Challenge: Annual (0 points) – After 9/25/08, complete Halo on 4-player Legendary LIVE co-op, with Iron, and everyone in Ghosts.

-Vidmaster Challenge: BrainPan (25 points) – Find all the hidden skulls on the Mythic maps.  (The only Vidmaster to give Gamerscore on Halo 3)

Halo 3 ODST

-Vidmaster Challenge: Endure – On Firefight, on any mission, pass the 4th set on 4-player Heroic LIVE co-op.

-Vidmaster Challenge: Deja Vu – Complete Highway on 4-player Legendary LIVE co-op, with Iron, and no ‘Hog or Scorpion’.

-Vidmaster Challenge: Classic – Finish any level solo on Legendary, on LIVE, with no shots fired or grenades thrown.  Note:  Keep fingers off the fire buttons, don’t even beep the horn on a Warthog or use the E-brake.  Ok to have Marines onboard, give one the Laser if completing this on Uplift Reserve.  Recommended!
